                    [Summary] => On June 11, early risers will see the sunrise in partial eclipse. This annular eclipse is the first of the two solar eclipses occurring this year.


A solar eclipse can occur at new moon when the moon passes between the Earth and the Sun. The moon orbits around the Earth once every 29-and-a-half days. However, a solar eclipse does not always happen every new moon.

But that did not prevent the members of the Philippine Astronomical Society (PAS) from setting up their telescopes at the Luneta Boardwalk right at the back of the Quirino Grandstand last May 15.

The occasion was the first-ever astronomical observation held at Luneta Boardwalk right at the back of Quirino Grandstand organized by the Philippine Astronomical Society (PAS), in cooperation with the Philippine Tourism Authority.

At that time the comet was up and visible in the western sky right after sundown. I turned down the invitation.

And if you haven’t seen a comet, this is the best time for you to see one.


Comets, for superstitious folks, are nothing but omens of bad things to come. But for scientists, comets are pristine debris from the formation of the solar system 4.5 billion years ago.
